Week 2 – All Games CANCELED!

All games tomorrow are CANCELED!

There is a ton of standing water on the fields from four straight days of rain and the sunshine we’re getting today is too little, too late.

This week’s games will be made up on February 18th, the scheduled week off. The rest of the games will be played as scheduled. Tell your friends.

See you guys January 7th, happy holidays.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! Revised Recreational Schedule

Due to an oversight on my part, the rec schedule we distributed last week had a few teams never play each other.  I’ve updated the schedule, and we will distribute copies of the revised schedule to team captains this week.  Revisions are highlighted green.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Schedules and Field Maps!

Below are the schedules for both the recreational and competitive leagues, as well as a field map for this year. Please heed the warnings about driving slowly and staying out of the stable area. Those horses are ridiculously valuable and we like having somewhere to play.

Peace, Love, and Dallas Winter League. It’s time!

Calling All Volunteers!

Howdy folks!

As you know, Dallas Winter League is an entirely volunteer run organization put together by the Dallas Ultimate Association.  Unfortunately the DUA isn’t gigantic enough to handle every single task that’s required to ensure Winter League goes off without a hitch, which is where you come in.

Every year we rely on the help of dozens of volunteers to help us handle everything from field lining to food setup, player registration and check-in, even policing the fields after we’re done to ensure we leave them as pristine as we’ve found them.

This Thursday the very studly Robert “Turkey” Cropper will be spearheading field lining from 10:00am to 3:00pm.  I know many of us work during those hours, but anyone that has a few hours in the middle of the day to give to your beloved Winter League will be greatly appreciated.

Additionally, we’ll be needing a handful of volunteers Saturday morning to run player check-in tables starting at 10:30.

If you’d like to get involved and help with lining or check-in, or if you can’t help this week, but would like it to be known that you’re willing to help, please contact us at dwl@dallasultimate.org and we’ll keep you in mind.

Again, field lining is Thursday from 10am to 3pm and check-in will be Saturday morning starting at 10:30am.

With your help we can make this year’s the best Dallas Winter League yet!
